Information About Our Students

• Completion & Graduation Rates for All Students This information provides data on first-time, full-time, degree-seeking undergraduates who graduated or completed their degree programs within 150 percent of the normally required time (usually 6 years after entry to UW).

• Completion & Graduation Rates for Student-AthletesThis information outlines the number of students, by race and gender, who attended UW and for each sport who received athletically-related aid, who graduated within 150 percent of the normal time required, and the average completion rates for the four most recent graduating classes.

This report describes the number and gender of coaches and student athletes in each intercollegiate sport offered at UW, the revenue and expenses associated with each sport, athletically-related financial aid, recruiting expenditures, and coaches' salaries.

This report provides statistics from the three (3) most recent calendar years about crimes and arrests that have occurred on campus, in UW facilities off-campus, and on public property near the campus. It provides statistics on crimes and violations of UW policies involving prejudice, bodily injury, liquor laws, drug laws and illegal weapons possession.

In addition, the report outlines laws, policies, and procedures governing the reporting of crimes and emergencies, UW's response to such reports, campus security and access to facilities, educational programs and crime prevention efforts, and possession and use of alcoholic beverages and illegal drugs.
